I know nothing about wedding videography packages! What are the costs and elements included in a typical package?

It is hard to state what a “typical” videography package is like, as the components, prices and results offered by different videography vendors may differ to a large extent.

Here are some elements that are commonly listed in videography packages:

1. Equipment used:

In basic packages, the following equipment may be used:

DSLR

Camera Slider

Audio recorder

Tripod or Monopod

A more comprehensive videography package may include…

LED lighting for night use

Crane

Camera stabiliser

Fast lens

2. Staff involved in videography shoot:

You may expect one videographer to be involved in a basic videography shoot lasting about four hours. For more complex videography filmings, a total of two to four videographers may be involved.

3. Results of videography filming:

Your wedding video may be presented to you in different formats. Certain videographers will present the film in a DVD, MPEG 4 or Blu-ray format. They may also provide an additional back up copy, on top of the master copy.

You may expect a wedding video lasting between three to fifteen minutes. Certain videographers may also provide you with a documentation video of your wedding day (the length of this video may last between twenty to sixty minutes).
